I am looking to get a small TV for the bedroom and have seen some on the John Lewis web site - I am off to have a look at them but has anyone here got any experience of the smaller 19" or 23" models? What are the picture and sound quality like?

Can anyone recommend any other small TVs they are esepcially pleased with?

I too have bought from them though have never had to take anything back.

The survay was on the national news last week and out of all the different companys it was Comet who came out top with a mark of 7/10 whereas John Lewis and Argos both scored 2/10.

I remember saying to my wife wow look at their scores and to think that online I have read online that Comet were not so great for follow-up service and that the fellows on What HIFI usually say that John Lewis is good.

I wasn't saying it.... I was just passing on a survey :doh:

I'm sure John Lewis are great.... but the survey said .... (sounds like a game show)

Understood you were passing info on, but it's generally important to check sources on these things - believe it or not, the national news is not necessarily a trustworthy source of information (shock horror :grin:).

I could easily take multiple surveys and twist the results any way I wanted, just as some pharmaceutical companies will conduct multiple trials and happily cherry pick the ones that show their drugs in a favourable light. It doesn't actually mean that information is correct unfortunately.

Any survey which has put Comet after sales service at 7/10 has to be taken with a pinch of salt IMHO. Given also that JL won the UK Customer Satisfaction Awards this year (survey of 26,000 people), plus Retailer of the Year and Britain's Favourite Retailer 2011 (poll of 6,000 shoppers), it suggests some fluke result in a (probably) very minor survey.

EDIT - the UKCSI is a good resource for checking this sort of thing. As you can see, as of July 2011, JL is top with Comet nowhere to be seen!

OK, after some Googling, I found the source of this - and it's far from the headline 'news' described above.

It's not a survey, but an investigation done by Which, involving asking staff at a range of stores about a supposedly out-of-warranty fridge freezer.

They marked down stores whose staff couldn't give chapter and verse about the Sales of Goods Act - more details here

Now while it's not great if staff aren't fully up to speed on consumer rights, that's not a problem if you keep yourself informed. It's a very different situation to a company not providing great service if you do have a problem that needs fixing....

Not quite the same, but I'm always amused by television ads claiming things like "78 of 92 people agreed their hair never looked shinier." For all we know, the survey referenced comprised 300 respondents, 208 of whom thought their hair had never looked duller. Damn statistics, and all that...
